Apparently there's another major issue other than the autosave giltch which the game randomly crashes the old phat ps3 models be it 60gb/80gb giving it 3 beeps and a blinking red light at certain sections of the game or even crashes even in pause mode or trying the save the game.

Apparently Uncharted 3 have this same issue but never got fixed. People already trying to contact ND or Arne but no response or acknowledgement about this issue.

My 60gb ps3 already crashed at Hotel basement generator section more than 10 times and crashes more then I can count even before that. I tried other games but they do not have this problem. It's kinda depressing to buy a $60 game that doesn't work on the old ps3 more than half of the time because ND didn't QA to work on the phat PS3.

My phatty YLOD twice in the first hour of play, but it was running after I fixed it about a month ago. I reflowed it again, played for about 20 min and it died again. Then I drove to target and bought a new ps3. TLOU is that good.

Exactly same model here. Singleplayer took me 13 hours 20 minutes, and I've played about 6-8 hours of the multiplayer. No crashes here whatsoever but like Metalmurphy the game does make the fans go fairly flat out. I also played for seriously extended periods of time.
